Seaham Sunrise Kids Hoodies

The Slope Beach and Pier at Seaham Harbour. The slope is a sheltered sandy beach located between two piers at the harbour entrance. It was once an area where families visited and children learned to swim. Following refurbishment of the North Pier and the marina, it now attracts more visitors. The sunrises at low tide give some great images, as do the winter waves that pound the pier.

Seaham Harbour is a small town on the County Durham coast of England. Once a very busy harbour shipping out coal, glass and local fishing boats bringing in fish, crabs and lobster. Now though, the harbour is much less busy. The beaches, were once very busy in the summer with locals making the most of the sandy areas, though now, like the harbour they are much quieter. here the sunrise is seen over the groin towards the old Featherbed Rock.

The marina at Seaham Harbour was once home to a multitude of local fishing vehicles, landing their catch daily and selling it along the dockside. Over the years, as fishing declined, the docks and harbour changed. Now with new marina gates protecting the leisure craft, the marina is home to local boat owners. The area now includes busy cafes and shops, along with the Lifeboat Heritage Centre. Here the image show dawn breaking over the marina.

Tommy now sits proudly on the seafront of Seaham Harbour, County Durham, England. The name given to the artwork is "Eleven Oh One" and relates to the Armistice at the end of the First World War. The sculpture is of a British soldier of World war One, known as Tommies, here Tommy has his head bowed......Is he fired of the futility of war, or remembering his fallen comrades?

The Blast Beach as it is locally known, is located just south of Seaham Harbour, in the area of Noses Point on the County Durham coastline of North East England. The beach was once a dumping ground for the old waste from the mines and chemical works - with the Chemical Beach, being close by. The sea stack, is unusual in that it has never been named.

A surprisingly unnamed magnesian limestone sea stack on the Durham coast. The beach on which it sits, south of Seaham, is named after the Seaham Chemical Works which occupied the immediate cliff top for a short time. It was established in the 1860s, by the 1890s it had gone. But Chemical Beach continued to be abused. The sand was extensively removed by the Seaham and Londonderry Bottle Works to make glass and coal waste from the Dawdon Pit was dumped into the sea. The beach and cliff top have been cleaned up. Natural is recovering. The magnesian limestone provides a rare habitat for flora and butterflies and is under the protection of the National Trust.

The coastal town of Seaham Harbour is in County Durham on the north east coast of England. Once a very busy port exporting coal from the numerous mines in the area and chemicals and glass from the chemical works, it is now a much quieter area. A search of the beaches in the area still show the history of the area, with old wagon tracks and uprights visible on the less frequented beaches. Here a set of old wagon wheels sit in the sea, only visible a low tides......they stand proud against the sea, with Seaham pier and lighthouse in the background, a reminder of the history of the area.

A war-weary Tommy sits thoughtfully, head bowed, rifle in hand, as he reflects upon the sheer horror of World War One during the first minute after peace was declared in 1918. This imposing metal sculpture, entitled 1101, owing to the fact the armistice went into effect at 11am on November 11, 1918, stands 9ft 5ins tall and weighs 1.2 tonnes. Built out of special corteen steel, it has been installed on Seaham seafront in Country Durham to mark the centenary of the start of the Great War. Created by local artist Ray Lonsdale, the sculpture is also intended to represent Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which many of the returning soldiers endured.

The statue 1101, locally known as Tommy is of a First World War British Tommy, striking a pose of tiredness. Tommy sits on the seafront at Seaham Harbour in County Durham and was recently voted the best art work in the UK. Here the image has been enhanced with the important words 'Lest We Forget'. The stone poppy is recreated each year on the approach to Remembrance Sunday and differs in style.

The old wagon wheels are a set of wheels that are visible at low tide on the old 'Chemical Beach' situated at Seaham Harbour on the north east coast of England. They are from an old wagon that used to run along a line from the area of the old chemical works to the harbours. The slow shutter of what was a fantastic sky adds to the character of the image.

The locally named Chemical Beach at Seaham Harbour on the County Durham Coast of northern England is named after the old chemical works that was located close to the cliffs in the 1800's. The waste from the works ran in pipes to the sea where is was disgorged. Over the years, much work has been carried out to create clean beaches. However, signs of the old damage persist. The area can produce almost alien looking images at both sunrise and sunset.
